The vast war cry sounded under the Great Wall Pass in Bingzhou.
After a series of shameless maneuvers by the Huns, the two generals Ma Chao and Zhang Liao lost interest in continuing the battle.
Damn it, the Chu army has become the same enemy, and they are still fighting.
Winning or losing is a matter of boosting the morale of the Chu army, and Ma Chao has no interest in doing it.
Under the call of attack, the Han-Hungarian coalition forces, which were divided into separate formations on both sides, launched a charge against the Chu army at the Great Wall Pass.
Everyone knew that as long as they could break through the Great Wall pass, what lay before the Han-Hungarian coalition forces would be the plain land of Hebei, a paradise for them to gallop.
"Roll the log, quickly, roll the log!"
"Fire the arrows! Archers, fire the arrows! Aim at the enemy troops setting up ladders and shoot them hard!"
"Kerosene, prepare the kerosene. Once they rush to the ladder, they will pour it hard!"
"Brothers, avenge General Zhang He, shoot, shoot these shameless people to death!"
Because it covers the entire land of Hebei, the Chu army is absolutely well prepared in terms of logistical supplies.
Facing the Han-Hungarian coalition forces rushing through the pass, the Chu army did not panic.
Yes, you have 300,000 cavalry fighting in the wild.
But so what?
If I don't go out to play with you, I'll shoot you hard on the top of the city. What can you do?
You know, the height of the Great Wall is a full two feet high, which is 6 or 7 meters in modern times.
At such a high distance, it is not easy to break through the pass, not to mention that the Chu army currently guarding the pass is in a stage of high morale, sharing the same hatred of the enemy, and sufficient supplies.
Zhang Liao, Ma Chao and others also knew that it was unrealistic to easily rush to the Great Wall pass. They were afraid that tens of thousands of people would not be able to easily occupy this pass.
But, so what?
Didn’t you see that the Huns had been deceived and only wanted to invade and plunder the land of Hebei within the Great Wall Pass?
Anyway, the main force in the battle was the Huns. Even if more people died, Ma Chao said he didn't care.
And just as the Han-Hungarian allied forces attacked the Great Wall pass, Xiang Ji, who was in Luoyang, finally decided to take action.
"My lords, now that the cold winter has gradually receded, the lonely king is determined to send troops in ten days' time to directly engage in a decisive battle with Liu Bei!"
Previously, Chu State had been passively defensive while Liu Bei attacked.
Now, it is my turn to take the initiative to attack.
Xiang Ji knew that now was the best time to fight Liu Bei. Otherwise, he would have been given a few more years to completely stabilize the country and completely integrate the surrendered forces. He might not be able to annihilate him in one fell swoop.
So easy.
Although the Chu State's heritage is far superior to that shit Shu Han built by Liu Bei, the Chu State still has a very large advantage in a protracted war.
But Xiang Ji didn't intend to play with him for ten years or eight years and fight for supremacy between Chu and Han.
You must know that at this time, the foreign tribes have already shown their fangs, preparing to bite the giant Chinese lion hard when it is injured due to internal fighting.
If the whole of China's national power is weakened because of fighting with this damn Liu Da'er for more than ten years, then that project will really become a joke.
"Overlord! Although Rujun and I have an army of 200,000 on the front line in Luoyang, Tongguan Pass is a world-famous dangerous pass. If our army breaks through the pass just like that, I'm afraid..."
Just because others dare not oppose Xiang Ji does not mean that Zhao Yun does not.
You must know that the friendship between Zhao Yun and Xiang Ji is almost beyond that of the emperor and his ministers.
There is no problem in taking the initiative to send troops to attack Liu Bei, but in Zhao Yun's opinion, Tongguan will not be broken easily.
If Tongguan cannot be conquered, Xiang Ji will have no choice but to confront Liu Bei on the front line of Luoyang.
"It doesn't matter.
The lonely king has made a decision in his heart, it’s just Tongguan, huh.”
Yes, Xiang Ji has already made a decision in his heart.
It's just Tongguan. Everyone thinks that Tongguan is a dangerous pass and difficult to conquer, but I decided to do the opposite.
You know, after Huang Yueying's unremitting efforts over the past few years, the ballista technology has long been mature.
Now, Xiang Ji is carrying the big killer weapon designed by Huang Yueying, the giant ballista cart!
Although this kind of ballistae is extremely heavy and heavy, it can only be used for defense at all.
But Xiang Ji still spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it to the front line of Luoyang.
Although there are only two giant ballista carts, Xiang Ji believes that this game will definitely surprise Liu Da'er.
Humph, Liu Bei, have you ever seen the power of a giant tree that requires two or even three people to hug together and turn into a cannonball?
But once I get to Tongguan, I don't believe that he can block a few shots from this giant ballista truck.
Of course, it is precisely because this giant ballista cart is rare and difficult to carry, so its role can only be to conquer Tongguan.
As for Chang'an? If Xiang Ji is willing to wait for him for a few months, he can probably be transported to another place...
However, this is enough for Xiang Ji.
As long as Tongguan is defeated, there will be no natural danger in the entire Guanzhong land.
Why are you, Liu Bei, moving the capital to Chang'an? Humph, I won't send you back to Xichuan, I will have the same surname as you!
Of course, it was precisely because of the amazing power of this giant ballista cart that Xiang Ji did not even inform Zhao Yun. His purpose was to keep it secret and give Liu Bei a big gift.
After all, now that the Han Dynasty has been established, Xiang Ji does not believe that there is not a single traitor in his army.
As expected, it was not as expected by Xiang Ji.
Three days later in Chang'an, Liu Bei, who was in the palace, received news that Xiang Ji was preparing to send troops for a decisive battle.
"Prime Minister! That Xiang Ji is so arrogant that he dares to take the initiative to attack me.
I am determined to send a large army to the front line of Tongguan to firmly contain the main force of the Chu State here!"
Hearing that Xiang Ji actually wanted to attack Tongguan, Liu Bei was not surprised but overjoyed.
Arrogant boy, if I don't take the initiative to hit you, why don't you laugh secretly? How dare you take the initiative to attack me?
Humph, Tongguan's natural dangers are no child's play. I want to see how many corpses your Chu army will leave behind in Tongguan!
"Your Majesty has no objection to it!"
Zhuge Liang had no objection to Liu Bei's decision this time.
Wouldn't it be a fool to fail to defend Tongguan despite the natural dangers?
If this person dares to take the initiative to tackle the problem, then he is looking for death.
Through this, Zhuge Liang saw the book clearly.
However, he is just a brainless and reckless man like his ancestors.
"Okay! Come here, pass the imperial edict! Order General Biaoqi to lead 150,000 troops to the front line of Tongguan to prevent the Chu Kingdom's nationality from outside the border!"
Tongguan originally had 50,000 defenders, but now Liu Bei asked Zhang Fei to personally lead an army of 150,000 to defend it.
Come to think of it, even if that Ji has the power to reach heaven, he will definitely not be able to conquer Tongguan.
As long as you guard him for ten days and a half, when the Chu army shows signs of fatigue, it will be the time for the Shu Han to send troops and completely dominate the world!
Looking at the morning glow in the east, Liu Bei was intoxicated.
